2. Service-Learning
Service-learning is a method of teaching, learning and reflecting, frequently youth service, throughout the community. As a teaching method, it falls under the philosophy of experiential education. More specifically, it integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, encourage lifelong civic engagement, and strengthen communities for the common good.

3. Benefits of Service Learning
Increased sense of self-efficacy as young people learn that they can impact real social challenges, problems, and needs.
Higher academic achievement and interest in furthering their education.
Enhanced problem-solving skills, ability to work in teams, and planning abilities.
Enhanced civic engagement attitudes, skills and behaviors. Many leaders in public service today speak about how they were nurtured, inspired, and shaped in early experiences in community service or volunteering.

4. Young people are more likely to stay engaged when they feel their participation is meaningful and they can make useful contributions through service and social action.
Service-learning gives an intentional strategy for addressing goals for learning and personal development through civic engagement and community service.
Service-learning can cultivate connections between the organization, schools, and other community groups.

11. What Service learning means to me…
Giving back to the community with a positive attitude and making a difference by doing small things or big things. I feel like nothing goes unnoticed when one volunteers with a positive attitude and is doing it to better them selves and our world and community!
